ReturnToMonkeyGriffins blow but can be cheap and p good if you're lightweight. Pivots are so much better but obviously $$$ and you can barely adjust their length without remounting thenm
Reid69What do you mean by griffons blow
Biffbarfthat's like comparing school lunch to eating sushi off a supermodel.
Reid69So would you say it’s worth it to pay the extra 100 bucks to get pivots instead of griffons or maybe go to tyrolia attacks?
ReturnToMonkeyBlow out as in heel piece cracking, base plate cracking, screws shearing, screws pulling out. Never had an issue with anything like this on Pivots, only the classic bent brakes problem.
Reid69So would you say it’s worth it to buy pivots over griffons or do you have any other suggestions

hoodratz47Only binding I ever broke was a pivot.
Nuff said.
Also only binding I ever ripped out was a pivot as well
SchoessNot really a big enough sample size to definitively say they are bad
RH406I have broken the half moon on three sets of pivots, but that was prior to the recall in 2017ish. They are pretty rock solid now.

hoodratz47I agree. With that. Just kind of going with the flow of knee jerk opinions here on NS
Really. Bindings have always been the least of my concerns. Boots, planks and then bindings
SchoessI've broken a lot of bindings over the years and pulled out of a number of skis. IMHO, Pivots and Tyrolias are the only realistic options for park skiers. I now only ride Tyrolias because of their easily replaceable brakes, ez stepin and the fact that I have never broken a pair. I wear through the plastic in the heelpiece and have to get new ones before anything breaks (we're talking like 4 seasons of skiing icy parks for this to happen). I think pivots are also great bindings, but I hate stepping in and out of them all the time with my hands full of camera gear and shit. I think Tyrolias suffer from the least amount of issues that many other bindings suffer from and they also support a bunch of really sick riders which is an added boner(bonus)! I've seen a LOT of pairs of markers blow up/pull out and I would be hard pressed to recommend them to the homies. I also hear Atomic bindings are pretty dope, but outside of my wife getting some Ward 11's, I don't have experience with them.
